1 Jesus comes, His conflict over,—
Comes to claim His great reward;
Angels ‘round the Victor hover,
Crowding to behold their Lord;
Haste, ye saints! your tribute bring,
Crown him, everlasting King;
Crown Him, crown Him, everlasting King.
Refrain:
Crown Him, Crown Him,
Crown Him our King;
Crown Him, Crown Him,
Jesus our King.
2 Yonder throne for Him erected,
Now becomes the Victor's seat;
Lo, the man on earth rejected,
Angels worship at his feet;
Haste, ye saints! your tribute bring,
Crown him, everlasting King;
Crown Him, crown Him, everlasting King. [Refrain]
